Holland Masters 2011, B-Class Adults Standard – Papendal

This is probably the best competition we ever danced. The end result was a 2nd place in the B-class adults in a strong field of 17 couples. We danced a good first round and were placed directly in the Semi-finals in the top 8 couples. We were very pleased with this result. The Semi-Final was even better and we were hoping to reach the Finals. This was not going to be easy because the top three couples of this class were present. They called the couples to the floor for the Final, in a random order and we were the first to step on the floor. A friend recorded our Semi-Final and from this we learned a lot. We could make some adjustments in the Final. We end in 2nd ,place beating the top three couples of the class. Our weekend was top. This was a good training for the Benelux Championships next week where we will go for good dancing again because this result can not be repeated. A video of our Final will be published tomorrow. Thank you to Herman and Michèle Lak for the coaching.
